Magnetic Reed Switch Sensors
In this simulation, students explore how a Magnetic Reed Switch Sensor detects the presence of a magnet. They can connect the sensor to a power supply and an LED module, then move a magnet close to the sensor to observe how the LED responds. This activity introduces the principles of magnetic field detection and demonstrates how reed switches are used in door alarms, security systems, and automation projects.
